I'm looking at the biggest and most interesting names of the 2014 free agent class. Check out my earlier thoughts on Greg Monroe and Pau Gasol.
Before Masai Ujiri arrived in Toronto, his much-maligned predecessor as General Manager, Bryan Colangelo, made a brilliant trade with Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey. In July of 2012, Morey agreed to send point guard Kyle Lowry to Toronto in exchange for Gary Forbes — who has yet to play an NBA game since the trade — and a first-round pick.
By moving on from Lowry in the summer of 2012, the Rockets were in fortuitous position to make The Infamous James Harden Trade a few months later. In addition to having newfound space in their offensive scheme for a ball-controlling guard, the Rockets also included Toronto's first-round pick in the package they sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Harden. (The pick was eventually used on Steven Adams.)
The only problem was that, once he journeyed North, Lowry evolved from a consistent starter into an All-Star-level player. With the clock perilously close to July 1st, Lowry is being discussed as a free agent talented and respected enough that the Miami Heat are considering signing him, which would necessarily be on a large contract.
In his twelve-plus months at the helm of the Raptors, Ujiri has been unafraid to trade away players who Colangelo had made large financial commitments to. Andrea Bargnani was almost immediately jettisoned to the New York Knicks last summer, and Rudy Gay was dealt to Sacramento in the beginning stages of last regular season. But Lowry's quantum leap in productivity convinced Ujiri to keep him around. After finishing ninth in shot attempts per minute on the 2012-13 Raptors, this year Lowry was the team's second-leading scorer, behind DeMar DeRozan, not to mention his team's de facto on-court leader.
Lowry ended up being a significantly more efficient value, dollar-for-dollar, than Harden was this season:
PPP | Usage% | AST% | TOV% | Salary | |
Lowry | 0.99 | 22.9 | 34.7 | 13.4 | $6.2M |
Harden | 1.05 | 27.8 | 27.3 | 15.0 | $13.7M |
Harden earned more than double what Lowry earned, but Harden certainly didn't double Lowry's value. While Harden is certainly the better offensive player — his efficiency goes up and up with each of the many (cheap!) foul calls he gets — Lowry provided more space on the court and on the cap sheet for other valuable players to produce. (I also think that the comparison to Harden is appropriate because both players play defense with the mindset of: "I'm saving my energy for what I can do on offense.")
Since Lowry has timed his career year with his entry onto the free agent market, it's also likely that he just hit the apex of his potential dollar-per-production efficiency. Many teams have been in pursuit of his services, and I for one am surprised that the Raptors are offering Lowry a long-term contract valued at twice the annual total of his previous deal. Most General Managers certainly feel no obligation in retaining players acquired by a previous regime, so Ujiri must see significant and hard-to-replace value in Lowry's game.
Lowry demands the ball in his hands at all times as an offensive player. The play that the Raptors ran most often for Lowry was a pick-and-roll, which accounted for 38.5% of Lowry's offensive possessions. Amir Johnson, one of Lowry's cohorts in the Raptors starting lineup, is one of the best screen-setters in the league, and their frequent collaborations were astoundingly efficient.
As a ballhandler in the pick-and-roll, Lowry is a master at reading the defense and using the disruptive event of the screen to his personal advantage. Lowry is adept at using either "side" of the screen to do whatever it takes to keep his defender off-balance — and Lowry is almost immediately in the key whenever his man slightly falters off-balance.
Defending Lowry's pick-and-rolls requires a total team concept. The defender who is guarding the screener — usually Johnson or Jonas Valanciunas — must not sag back to prevent penetration. Lowry is too adept at leading his own defender right into the screen, and can create a wide-open shot for himself if help isn't coming.
The most effective way that I saw to defend Lowry was to blitz him with both defenders. As the Raptors' first-round series against the Brooklyn Nets carried on, the Nets began blitzing Lowry through the screen more often. Instead of hitting the now-open screener with a pass, Lowry would put his head down and head for a corner, an unhelpful tendency that resulted in turnovers and circus shots:
Although it no longer appears likely, it was a hot rumor one week ago that Lowry would join the Miami Heat. And that could be for the best: Lowry on the Heat might not be a beneficial arrangement for either side. As stacked with talent as that team would be, there remains only one basketball for the team to share.
However — if Lowry were to join the Heat, his statistics would automatically improve because then he wouldn't have to play them anymore. The Heat's manic style of rapid-switching defense meant that they were well-handled to neutralize Lowry's usually devastating pick-and-roll threat. In his four games against the Heat this year, Lowry scored 13.3 PPG on 37% shooting — well off his season averages of 17.9 and 42.3%.
I think some better solutions, for both team and player, would be:
- New York Knicks: While the Knicks have a quietly wizardly backup point guard in Pablo Prigioni, they just dealt Raymond Felton to the Dallas Mavericks and no longer have a clear starting point guard on their roster. Since Knicks ownership is clearly unafraid to venture into the luxury tax, the new Derek Fisher/Phil Jackson braintrust would be wise to pursue a player, like Lowry, who plays quite the opposite of how Fisher did.
- Detroit Pistons: If Stan Van Gundy can manage to move Brandon Jennings and Jennings' two years and $16.3M of salary (easier said than done), Lowry and his 38.0 3P% could be a great ringleader for Van Gundy's three-ball-dependent offensive concept.
In truth Lowry would be a fantastic addition to most teams. They just have to be ready to give Lowry enough possessions with the ball in his hands in order for him to maximize his value.

Karen hadn't heard from William Neal for years, and suddenly she was getting a lot of hang-up calls from Colorado. Three rings, and then no one on the other end of the line.
Finally, one of Bill's sisters put Karen in contact with Jennifer. Somehow, together, they found the courage to keep each other sane.
Listening to Jennifer, Karen recognized that Bill had used the same tricks, and probably used them on every other woman he'd ever met. First came the charm -- the bubble baths, the rose petals, the extravagant gifts, the promises of a bright and shiny future. Then the obsessive jealousy and accusations of infidelity. And the other women.
That's why, despite her fear, it became so important to Karen to let the families of Neal's victims know this behavior wasn't new. He didn't suddenly snap. He'd been building toward this -- if, indeed, this was his first act of murder, and she had her doubts about that -- for a long time.
"The thing that made these women so wonderful, trusting, loving, were the things that made them targets. He found things in all of us that he could exploit. I just hope someday to be able to convey to the families that it could have been any woman in their daughter's and mother's shoes. None of us were stupid.
"He's just the con artist from hell. There was nothing they could have done to stop him from picking those women. If he wanted them, he was going to get them."
She wonders if he ever loved her. Whether the creature hiding behind that smile and those blue eyes was even capable of love.
"All I know is that life, and love, is not about bubble baths and rose petals," she says. "Be careful, and if you ever run into a man named William Lee Neal, turn and walk away."

Based in Karachi, Pakistani director Faisal Aman Khan, whose movie on Imran Khan titled 'Kaptaan' is already created ripples, talks about the debate on banning Indian movies in Pakistan
What is your take on the recent debate over banning of Indian movies in Pakistan?
I have been seeing this debate on local television channels about banning Indian movies. Initially, I thought that they were right in pointing out that Indian films are being allowed to be showcased in Pakistan whereas Pakistani filmmakers were being denied the right to showcase their movies to be shown within their own country. But when I watched the movies made by these filmmakers of ours, I realized there was nothing Pakistani about those films. They were all cheap copies of Indian movies. We had talented filmmakers in the past but that is the problem. We live in the past to glorify ourselves with the achievements made by our forefathers. There is no doubt that there is enormous talent in our country and talent should be tested by pitching it against competition not by playing a cricket match alone. The sort of movies being made by our filmmakers is a disgrace. Very rarely does the educated class go out to watch the movies made by the traditional lot. When a film like "Zar Gul" is banned in Pakistan and "The Blood of Hussain" along with "Immaculate Conception" made by intelligent people like Salman Pirzada and Jamil Dehlavi respectively just because they had political themes or were against the Armed establishment of the country. Remember "Junoon" was banned by the successive regimes of Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif? The kind of cinema to come out of Pakistan is what you see today where "Haseena Atom Bomb" sort of movies dominate the screen. It's not just movies, it's the same with music.
But what about movies like "Khuda Key Liye", "Ramchand Pakistani" and "Bol"?
As a Pakistani and a filmmaker, I might not agree with a lot of things shown in those movies. But everyone should have the right to express themselves and what better way than to use films as a medium?
What do you have to say about this thing about India's cultural invasion?
With all due respect, we have already lost the battle but to win the war for the hearts and minds of our own people, we should come up with quality stuff and enlighten, entertain and educate the masses through media. That should be the policy followed by filmmakers. Sadly, I don't see that happening which makes me sadly admit the fact as rightly put forward by one of India's ex prime minister that "We have invaded Pakistan culturally". Yes, India has done it already but my question is to my fellow media professionals and Pakistanis generally. Would you stop watching Indian movies if they were not being shown in cinemas? No, you won't because it's human nature. It is curious to see and experience things on their own. So, let them do it. But we should come out with quality stuff of our own to be distinctive and should carry our own image. Cinema owners of Pakistan should give Pakistani filmmakers the right platform and a level playing field by giving as much promotion to the Pakistani movies as they do to promote Indian movies because it's just an excuse people use because they are afraid that they might have to change the way they are.

I bought these pants because I was looking for a cute pair of sweats I could wear with boots and at work (I am a preschool teacher). These pants are very comfortable and I love the purple color - it's not dull or too crazy. The only thing that annoys me is that the knees get pretty stretched after one wear and it looks baggier than I would like but it is all around a great pair of sweatpants and I am going to get them in black too!

Hi, everyone. We are finalizing our vanity and masterbath selections. One thing I have always disliked in our previous masterbath,, was an ugly garbage can in full view. I could remedy this by putting it into our vanity as a pullout, but I hate to lose valuable storage space with a garbage. We have a toilet behind a privacy wall but the wall to wall space where the toilet resides is like 36"...so with a toilet, not much space for tucking away. Do you have any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I decided to put mine under the sink with a pull out on the floor of the vanity. I solved some of the storage loss by putting a cabinet over the toilet which is recessed between the studs. I didn't want to worry about hitting heads on a cabinet, but wanted more storage. I can't stand to look at an open wastebasket, so that was my solution. |
Same here, in my master bathroom i put the garbage in the vanity cabinet. Since i had added under cabinet drawers the storage had become alot more efficient anyway and the loss of space wasn't a problem. In the family bathroom the garbage is out in the open next to the toilet because I don't think my son will open the door to throw something away! |
we also have it in vanity cabinet... i wasn't necessarily planning it there, but there was no convenient place to tuck it away after remodel and we have plenty of storage space. i love it there! |

"I do not usually find apple crisp recipes very extraordinary , but this one was actually very nice. I baked it a medium-sized round casserole dish, which is unconventional but turned out so well that way, that it is the way I will always prepare it. A+++."
"My family loved this bread, and it was very quick and easy. I added ground flax seed and corn meal, and increased the sugar by quite a bit.Thanks for a wonderful recipe. :-)"


text: Long story: 1. Circa 2007. Bought Linksys WRT54GL. Since that day, the router has been relentlessly working nearly 24x7 for home wifi network consisting of 4-5 devices of various kinds and OSes. Only twice its firmware was upgraded to DD-WRT. Really those were the only times router had to be taken out of service. It has delivered excellent performance with multiple devices, multiple OSes, multiple ISPs etc. But never felt this to be something extraordinary till next 2 routers occurred to me: 2. Mid 2013. Lava W150 Sole reason to buy a new router was, my wired ISP was not anymore reliable and in my area the only option was to adopt a 3G service. Immediate problems with this router were, poor range, incompatibility with some devices, extremely poor performance if even 2 devices connect to the network. The problems were partly mitigated by again roping in WRT54GL as a repeater and the old workhorse dutifully played this new role well as well. 3. Mid 2013. Lava W520 Fed up of the performance of W150, bought a supposedly improved version of it - W520. The performance was indeed better than W150, though within 6 months of usage it has gone kaput. It is still under warranty and the company agreed to replace it, though it will take its own time. Roped in poorly functioning W150 as a backup again. One might say, with poor experience with one device, I should chosen a different brand for the next purchase. But I was looking for a router with battery, to avoid breaks in internet connectivity due to power cuts and there weren't too many options. So the short story: 1. With too few real reliable reviews, I am again having no clue, how to choose my next 3G router. Advices most welcome. (With/without battery - both options are acceptable this time, but reliability and performance are most important.) 2. Can't stop but wonder: What makes such a big reliability difference between products with more or less same functionality? - Brand? I would be willing to buy again from Linksys. But don't think they make 3G routers at least not portable ones - which is a necessity for 3G, as you often need to move them around to get better quality signal. - Is it that 3G routers are new/complicated to make and hence they have reliability issues? I'd not think so. At least not in 2014. - Have times changed so much that it is no big deal to use and throw a device away within a few months anyway? Nobody even expects such devices to last for years together? So I should just adjust my expectation level? Mayuresh.

Helping your small business grow
Before Al Cabrera owned 258 Burger King restaurants, he owned one. That was in 1985, when he and his father-in-law opened a Burger King on Southwest Eighth Street in Miami.
New to business, Cabrera said he struggled with everything from accounting to employment law. "Just because it's a franchise is no guarantee of success," he said.
But successful he was. And Cabrera's Heartland Food eventually became the second-largest owner of B-K franchises in the nation.
As consumers, we love to drive through franchises, shop in them or order from them, but for entrepreneurs, they represent the rarest of opportunities -- the chance to own a part of a larger corporation or multinational enterprise. And for local innovators, franchises can represent a way to take their ideas national or even global.
In the following pages we'll be looking at companies striving to grow. From firms that have discovered that the road ahead lies in exports to entrepreneurs who are graduating from the spare-room to the boardroom as they outgrow their home-based businesses.
But franchising holds a special place in the Florida business world. The Sunshine State is home to more than 50,000 franchises -- more than anywhere except California and Texas.
Whether it's local companies expanding, or entrepreneurs buying into existing brands, franchising is a growth strategy.
Last December Cabrera sold all but 10 of his Burger King stores for $155 million. Now he's on to new ventures including hotel development and restaurant projects. That kind of growth and success comes with challenges, he said: "A big part of being a successful entrepreneur is being able to endure the pain."

SAXET, TEXAS. Saxet was a farming and cattle-raising community that developed around a spur of the Santa Fe line three miles northeast of Timpson in northeastern Shelby County. With the removal of the spur, Saxet declined and eventually was abandoned. Saxet spelled backwards is "Texas."

Absolutely love the coverage! Blends very well. Color match was very nice. Last for a while (a little does the trick for me) However , it is oily. I don't put this under my eyes anymore because is does crease. But as far blemishes, acne scars and such, I dig it!

I looooove this concealer. I use this to cover my dark circles, and it is the ONLY thing I have found that does it. I have pale skin and allergies, and my dark circles are super-pronounced ALWAYS. I hate it. But this product covers them perfectly with a little concealer brush. The only downside is that it settles into fine lines, so you have to wait a few minutes and then blend it a little more, but I don't mind. As long as it keeps me from looking like I have severe anemia. I use chroma 0, pale ivory and it's perfect. I think it works so well because it's very creamy and has a slight yellowish cast to it. I don't really use it on other parts of my skin, sometimes a little around my nose if it has redness, but that's it, so I have no idea if it would break me out or not. Try this if you can't find anything else to cover your dark circles, I bet you will like it!

I got this product primarily to cover rosacea but also for little dark spots and birthmarks on my face. A woman helped me in the store so I would get the right color, and from what I could see under the store's lights my skin looked pretty good and I was excited to get something that would cover for real, finally.
I've been using this for months now and I am not happy. After not much time goes by, the product disappears off my face. I do not have oily skin, either. I am left with a look of huge pores and lines that weren't showing up when I didn't have the product on. I've never had anything give me huge pores before! So in summary it does NOT cover. The salesperson did advise me to let it sit, and keep layering it, and I have done those things. But it just disappears into thin air. Obviously I'm not buying this again.

I am a drag artist and I love this product . I use it as a total coverage foundation including my neck and nape as well. The key to using this product is time and letting it cook and then set. I apply an overall 100% coverage and then let it " cook for a good 20 minutes or so..In that time it will beging to react to the heat from my face and begin to activate all the ingredients..After 20 minutes or so I begin to really smooth out , clean up and define the coverage by removing the excess and going for that really smooth, glossy look and feel..I apply 1 shade lighter finishing powder from my cheeks up and apply the matching shade to the bottom half and regular talcum powder on my neck and nape. I make sure that I blend , blend and blend the seams for a very nice finish ..The finish is amazing and a perfect setting to begin to apply the defining lines and colors ...I would ask all the negative reviewers if they give this product the time it needs to cook before applying your finishing powder..I truley believe thats the Key/Trick

I'll admit when the sales rep. came to me and put the foundation on me I was super happy. It seemed to cover my severe acne scars very well, and so I bought it in Natural Beige for $35.
For the first few hours everything looked fine, but as I continued using it I broke out a week later. I didn't know what was causing so I continued using this foundation, as my acne healed and dried up the foundation made my dry areas very cakey even when I applied moisturizer and primer underneath. Needless to say, I will not be repurchasing, and I will not even attempt to use this under my eyes.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Brunette, Medium Eyes: Blue
I am NW15 in MAC, so I bought this in the lightest shade, Chroma 0 or Pale Ivory. Maybe Chroma 1 would be a better fit, as this is a very pale YELLOW shade (NC10-15). So at first, I was unpleased with my color match.
Then, when I began to blend this into my skin (freshly washed and moisturized), it immediately went matte and emphasized any line or dryness I ever had (and as a 25 year old oily girl, that's saying something). So terrible color, hard to blend, looks cakey and dry, and NO COVERAGE!
what the heck? I must be doing something wrong, because no way would these reviews be so positive. I tried layering it up on some acne scarring, and I get more coverage from MAC Face and Body than I do this product.
Very disappointing.

This is the greasiest foundation which sinks into pores within an hour. If you have combination or oily skin stay away from this. It does not look natural and after a few hours you'll look like an oil slick. There are way better concealers/foundation products out there.

I have a dark grey birthmark underneath my eye. I was hoping this would cover it. I was disappointed, it's no different than a regular creamy concealer. I really wanted it to work, but I finally returned the product.
*After a month of returning the product, I still haven't received the refund. I contacted customer service about this, but it took them a week to write me back, and they told me to be patient about the refund.

Pantone, the global authority on color, branched out of color-measuring and into the accommodations space. Color lovers, rejoice ... and then visit Pantone Hotel in Brussels! The hip, trendy, colorful hotel was designed by Michel Penneman and Olivier Hannaert and features a particular hue on each floor. The rooms are mainly white, which allows for the colored accents to really pop.

With the winter holiday season approaching, it's time to start preparing for the colder months—and hopefully for your winter vacation! Some travelers like to spend the winter months enjoying the snowflakes and winter fun, while others prefer to soak up as much sun as possible, even if that means leaving home to do so. We've selected a few of our favorite winter destinations with both types of travelers in mind.
Denver, Colorado
There's no doubt about it: Colorado is ski country. As soon as snow hits the ground, skiers and snowboarders rejoice and hit the slopes. But if you're not a skier or snowboarder, don't fret—there are plenty of other activities in Denver, which makes it the perfect winter destination for all. The city is scattered with skating rinks, some of which are free to use! Throughout November and December, the city hosts several beautiful lighting displays that are sure to get you in the holiday spirit. If you'd rather warm up indoors, a couple of museums (including the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the Denver Art Museum) offer admission-free days. Check out Denver hotels on Tingo here.

Flying between time zones can really throw off a traveler's internal clock, making you feel as though you need to nap right when you arrive at your destination instead of getting out and enjoying the place. While there isn't an official "cure" for jet lag, these suggestions for things you should do before and during the flight will help prevent jet lag from occurring.
1. Stay healthy before your trip. Do your best to eat well, get a full night's sleep, and exercise before your trip. A few days before you depart, try to gradually adjust your sleeping and eating schedules to fit with those of your destination. You'll be used to that schedule by the time you arrive at your destination.
2. Stay hydrated. One of the most important items on this list is to stay hydrated while in the air. Try your best to avoid beverages that contain alcohol or caffeine. Instead, drink lots of water or juice to keep hydrated. We suggest drinking a glass of water or juice each hour you're in the air.

Scoring a hotel upgrade can be fairly easy. Upgrades do not necessarily have to mean larger rooms; they can also include things like better views, bigger beds, or quieter areas in the hotel. The first step is asking hotel staff if any upgrades are available—many travelers forget to do so. You'll never know what kind of upgrade you can score until you ask! Here are nine more tips to scoring hotel upgrades:
1. Join a hotel loyalty program. Most programs are free and members get upgrades and other cool perks. Hotels often give special treatment to repeat customers, so let staff know at the time of reservation that you're a loyal customer.
2. Travel off-season. Guests have a better chance of scoring an upgrade when hotels aren't at full capacity.

Nothing is worse than getting back home from a vacation and realizing you left your favorite jacket in the hotel closet or your laptop charger in the outlet. Next time you check out, look over this list and make sure you can answer "yes" to the following questions:
1. Did I pack the night before? It's easier to pack up your suitcase the night before you check out of a hotel room. That way, you're not pressed for time and rushing to make the checkout time, and you'll avoid leaving items behind.Read more...

We've heard of a few hotel horror stories: guests walking into occupied hotel rooms, realizing that the "empty" hotel room had someone else's stuff in the bathroom, overflowing toilets, and unwanted wake-up calls at 4 AM. Next time you find yourself in a hotel room, use our Check-in Checklist to avoid the above problems and more! Make sure you can answer "yes" to the following questions:
1. Am I in the right room? Yes, it really happens—guests enter the wrong hotel rooms sometimes. Even if you think your room is empty, it's not a bad idea to check the dresser drawers and look for toiletries in the bathroom.
2. Do all of the locks work correctly? This includes the front door, the balcony door, and the window locks.

Fall is the perfect time to explore new cities and enjoy the changing scenery. Turning leaves, hot apple cider, sweater weather: We love it all. Here are our top suggestions for how to enjoy the crisp weather in some of our favorite locations:
Newport, RI— Just 20 minutes away from beautiful Newport, Escobar's Highland Farm in Portsmouth, RI as a fall activity for everyone. Hayrides and pumpkin patches make for perfect fall fun, and if you're feeling a little more adventurous, this year's Corn Maze features eight acres of twists and turns. Don't worry, they'll rescue you if need be.
Accommodations: Located in Newport's Historic District, the Pelham Court Hotel is perfect for your Newport stay. Explore the Tennis Hall of Fame or take a leisurely stroll along the Cliff Walk to spot beautiful mansions.

Hotels will go to extreme measures to ensure their guests have a memorable experience. Aside from the expected amenities, hotels have gone above and beyond with the introduction of specialized butlers.
- Personal Mixologist, The Surrey Hotel, New York City, NY: Why go to the bar when the bar can come to you? The mixologist at The Surrey Hotel offers New York's finest "in-room imbibing." The mixologist will make your first round of drinks and bring additional ingredients for 4-5 other drinks. Don't feel like mixing yourself? Request the service again. Cheers!
- Tanning Butler, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, FL: Yes, you heard us correctly. The tanning butler at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach circles the beautiful pool looking for those in need of SPF. Equipped with Hampton Sun products, sunglasses cleaner, and an Evian spritzer, the butler will make sure you have everything you need for a day in the sun. And let's not stop there—the butler will happily apply your sunscreen for ensured even coverage.

In the past, we've complained about annoying fees that hotels sometimes charge. This time around, we're celebrating a few special hotels that offer really cool freebies to their guests.
- Goldfish—The Soho Grand Hotel in New York City will provide a goldfish pal to keep you company for the duration of your stay. This trend is becoming increasingly popular among other hotels, too.
- Bike Rentals—Vancouver's Opus Hotel has mountain bikes available for free rental. The bikes are first come, first served, though, so if you plan to tour the city on a set of wheels, make sure you request your rental in advance!

It does sound like a sticky situation...however, I would not recommend getting a CHP in another state and side-stepping the Texas issue. ESPECIALLY if your documented residence is now in Texas. If something were to happen and you were in another legal circumstance regading your firearm, the first question that would be thrown at you is "why do you not have a Texas CHP if you are a resident of Texas?" At this point your credibility is shot because now you are dodging an issue and your "work around" will be means to show you were hiding something (or not properly disclosing it). Personally, I think you come down to two choices:
1. Take the Texas course, and apply for the license with full disclosure: RISK: $150 or so. If you get approved, problem solved. If you are rejected, at least you know and you can still carry in your car or home.
2. Wait your time out: Carry where you can legally (car and home), and wait the 5 years. It's one thing to try to push the legal envelope by speeding or the like, its a whole other ball game when it involves a "deadly weapon".

The Golden Age of General Aviation can really be many eras, but the most appropriate I think is when General aviation really grew into a useful tool for the masses, which occurred shortly after World War II, and during the post-War boom in large scale production of airplanes during the 1950′s and early 1960′s.
Prior to world War II, general aviation was restricted to the very wealthy, or large corporations with very far-sighted management. The Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Mellons participated to some degree or another with private flying, and many of the oil companies of the 1930′s owned and operated a corporate airplane.
But it was in the 1950′s that you could find a Cessna, Beech, Piper, or even Ercoupe dealer in many medium and large towns across America. A businessman could buy a Cessna 182 or Bonanza and cover a regional territory at almost the same speed as an airliner of the day. Car travel was very different in the 1950′s, the Superhighways and interstate highways system didn't exist, so car travel was largely in un-air-conditioned vehicles on 2-lane blacktops across America. A slow-moving truck and on-coming traffic added days to a trip that could be done in hours in a Cessna 182 or Beechcraft Bonanza, so the private flying boom was off and running ( or flying!)
Flying has always been expensive, but it was practical. I can remember avgas at $1 per gallon, but when you were covering the territory at 180 miles per hour, and avoiding extra motel stays and expenses, it made sense instead of barely averaging 50 mph ( even in the luxury cars of the day, road travel was tedious and slow).
The queen of the fleet for an owner-flown business or personal airplane was the Gold standard, the Beechcraft Bonanza. What the Beech Bonanza was in 1950 is what the Pilatus PC-12 is today. Prestigious, fast, and state-of-the-art. Most airline travel, between short distances, like a salesman or businessman would travel, would have been via the airlines or the train, or driving. the Beech Bonanza offered the SAME speed as many of the airliners of the day ( Douglas DC-3 on short trips). Both averaged about 160 mph, so Mr. Businessman was keeping up with the airlines on speed and setting his own timetable. And it worked and Olive Ann Beech sold a LOT of Bonanzas ( and so did Cessna sell a lot of 182′s and later 210′s).
If you were a mid-size company, big enough that the Executives needed reliable transportation for 4 or 5 with some comfort, the King of The Hill corporate airplane was a Twin Beech. It featured fold-out desks, a separate potty area, and a refreshment center, and would set you back about $75,000 for a new one. The equivalent today would probably be a Cessna Citation Sovereign or Hawker 900 or Gulfstream G-200 in the mid $15 Million range. And if you were really in the big-time, you chased around the country in a converted Executive DC-3 or Lockheed Lodestar. The Lockheed out ran the DC-3 ( 200 mph vs. 160 mph) but the DC-3 was about 50% larger and carried 6 more people in a VIP style interior. that was living! Arthur Godfrey had his own DC-3, and Elizabeth Taylor's husband, who probably had fewer close friends but in a bigger hurry, opted for the Lockheed Lodestar. IBM bought an Executive DC-3, but JAckie Cochran, famed aviatrix , businesswomen, and best pal of several Presidents, had her own Lockheed Lodestar.
Today, the DC-3 vs. Lockheed rivalry is best seen probably between a Falcon 900 vs. Gulfstream vs. Challenger. When you look out on the ramp and see a gleaming new G-V pull up, know that in a few years from now, that will be the classic aviation business airplane that people are writing about.
But after all, as they say,…. time flies.

Oh, our FX45 was a party on wheels, all right, with something for every age. And we liked everything about all those options except the "must have" clause. That and the adaptive cruise control, which had the disconcerting habit of seeing vehicles in the oncoming lane and letting off the gas. We parked that switch at off. We racked up more than 20,000 miles in six months, foot on the gas the whole way. And we still managed 17 mpg, except for the trip to Rockford, Illinois, towing a vintage trailer, which averaged an ugly 11 mpg.
Although not commodious by any means, the FX45 could manage a family of four with basic luggage and a dog or two in relative comfort. That comfort went to hell as the passengers got larger and the luggage tried to cover more than a week. We improved the situation by adding crossbars to the roof rack for $406.80 (why don't they come with the car?), and a trailer hitch and wiring cost $1054.08. (Cost-cutter tip number 1: Order the hitch and wiring with the car. It's $349 for the hitch, plus installation.) The number and variety of little bins and door pockets were praised by all, although the push-button lids were beginning to take their sweet time opening after a year of heavy use. The one-lever folding rear seat worked like a charm, and at the end of our heavy use, the interior looks great, and neither squeak nor rattle has been heard, although the great four-way adjustable steering column and instrument binnacle has developed some irritating free play.
Sometime during our special FX summer, the rear wiper assembly was ripped off. Don't let that happen to you. It cost $99.91 to replace. The good news is that our 22,500-mile service cost a measly $31.42. Our three services to that point cost a total of $305.72. (This is the right place to mention the white-glove treatment we received at Suburban Infiniti in nearby Novi.)
We were ready for the winter of 2004 before it hit, putting in a call to the Tire Rack in Indiana for four Bridgestone Blizzak Winter Dueler DMZ3 265/65QR-17 tires mounted on more reasonable seventeen-inch Moda rims. The fix wasn't cheap at $1292, but it was brilliant. The FX became almost unstoppable in the snow. (Cost-cutter tip number 2: Infiniti tire-pressure sensors seem ridiculously expensive at $200 per tire, compared with the competition's average cost of about $50. We scavenged the originals, which we really find useful, to use with the new Blizzaks. It cost $132.75 to install them and mount the tires on the wheels.)
With the onset of winter, the odometer stopped spinning so furiously, passing the 30,000 mark after ten months. At that point, Suburban Infiniti did a thorough go-through for $528.82 and replaced a squeaking (and, it turns out, leaking) steering rack under warranty. They also changed a bolt in a brake caliper and reprogrammed the emissions control unit, both under recall.
Its looks didn't kill everyone ("puffed-up PT Cruiser," "military contract gone wrong," and "bulbous and goofy" were among its descriptors), but there were more raves than rants for the hopped-up show-car look of the FX45-from editors, from toll takers, from fellow drivers and gawking pedestrians. Not all of Nissan's new age designs are this successful, but taking a risk on the design front has gone a long way toward saving this once-foundering ship. As we wound down our year, we were pleased that the pretty packaging wasn't hiding an inferior gift. The quality held up, our service experience was exemplary, and once the latest dump of snow stops, we'll use the FX45 to plow out of the driveway and make our way to town.
Cost-cutter tip number 3: It took senior editor Joe Lorio, our Voice of Reason, to suggest that the FX35, with less radical, eighteen-inch tires, a V-6 ("only 35 horsepower less"), and a $9000 cheaper sticker price was "easily the better overall version of this most interesting SUV."
But maybe you don't live in the Snow Belt.

text: As if we don't have enough motivation to conserve and protect our seas, here is yet another reason. Scientists say that tourism and the construction of numerous chemical plants have caused a water shortage in the Dead Sea. It has shrunk a third of its size in just a half a century and it is estimated that the body of water will lose another third by the year 2100. This massive water shortage is creating dangerous sinkholes along the coastline where the water used to sit. "The holes form when a subterranean salt layer that once bordered the sea is dissolved by underground fresh water that follows the receding Dead Sea waters," explains this article. These sinkholes are so dangerous that they have trapped and killed several unsuspecting tourists. While officials have tried to rope off these areas, it is impossible to get them all. And with no clear plan to fix this problem, it looks like the Dead Sea will keep dwindling and the sinkholes will keep growing. Sadly, these types of things are preventable and yet they are still happening all over the world.

This place has closed as of this week. Cannot write a further review. Should be a way of writing less than 100 characters.
I have always enjoyed this restaurant, but I just read today that My Big Fat Greek in Farmington is closing. :(
I ate at this restaurant for the first time last week and found the food to be very good, though it isn't exactly what I'd call authentic Greek cuisine. For example, there are no dishes with eggplant (which I was told doesn't bode well with locals) and one of the pasta dishes had poblano peppers in it. That said, the... More
I've eaten here several times and it's always been good. My comparison is old-school New Jersey Greek diners, so don't be hating! We had a business meeting there this week, and about 9 of us were in attendance. The server was patient and efficient. Someone ordered the hummus with pita "chips", and it was the best hummus I've ever had... More
We celebrated a wedding ann. There. The staff was wonderful, immediate seating, friendly and helpful service and knowledgable info. Shared about the dishes. The appetizer tray could have fed 2 just by itself, with a sampling of almost everything Greek. All the 5 various meals were hot, large, tasty and prepared to perfection. The surf and turf, along with the... More
We traveled trough Greek and his Islands for many years, so we can compare what we eat. The Gyros we get was old, dry and warmed up - the best this evening was our wine. Yeah - it was not expensive, but it was not worth the 12 bucks.
We don't have a Greek restaurant in our home town anymore, so when we travel I search them out. The menu was great and we shared a large salad and a plate of different choices or a sampler plate. The waiter was extremely nice and the environment was very conducive to talking. I will definitely go there again
We both enjoyed the food and ambiance, We like the things on the menu having eaten at Greek restaurants from coast to coast. There is however, one exception and that is we learned that the Mousaka has no eggplant in it which I believe to be traditional because the people of Farmington do not seem to like Eggplant. The location... More
My husband and I enjoy the atmosphere and yummy food not overcrowded and mediocre like the majority of restaurants in Farmington. I would recommend the Feta Burger or the filet. The value is awesome as well.

Hometown: Randolph, Texas
Major: Business Administration
Concentration: Management
Plans after graduation After graduating I plan on staying here at ETBU and getting my MBA. I want to someday work in the business side of organizations that work with children in some way. Whether that being; with camps, schools, or any other type of company whose main purpose is helping children in any way.
"Getting to work in the Student Affairs office for my internship was a great privilege. I love ETBU and seeing what's behind the sense of making this university as great as it is was a joy to be part of. I was able to learn how a smooth functioning office works and also having to work under pressure with time limits and deadlines to be aware of. Seeing and experiencing these things first hand will greatly benefit me in my future job opportunities. This internship allowed me to learn the formal way of setting up meetings with higher ranking personnel and learning how to speak when proposing an idea to market something for the university or an idea for an event that the university could put on for the students. This internship also taught me new computer software skills that could be used in any job at any time. These skills that I acquired during my internship are skills that I will carry with me in any job I become a part of."

Bass taken with live bait, unlike commonly believed, are seldom deep-hooked or fatally injured. Live release is usually an option for any live-bait-caught largemouth not intended as table fare.

Options, options
Rather than artificials, using live baits for bass fishing around these parts can often yield better results.

OpenLRS - new firmware fork: openLRSng
As you may kown thUndead stopped maintaining his mod for openLRS so I decided to step in and startted to build a cleaner and more structured open source firmware for the openLRS hardware.
The code is available at http://github.com/openLRSng/openLRSng. 'Tagged' version are considered stable while the master may have some work in progress altough I do my best to avoid breaking it. Latest stable version can be installed using the Chrome based configurator <<here>>. This is recommended for normal users that don't need to fiddle with the code. It is possible to stick to a version by downloading a specific version of configurator from https://github.com/openLRSng/openLRS...rator/releases Developer chat and live help for troubleshooting is available at #openLRS @freenode.net webchat link Changelog for stable releases: v3.7 (Jun 30 2014) - TX versatility (EEPROM should be cleared)
NOTE: - binddata is compatible, flashing needed to activate new feature
NOTE: - binddata modified, you need to reflash TX and all RX:s with new firmware.
NOTE: - binddata modified, you need to reflash TX and all RX:s with new firmware.
NOTE: - binddata modified, you need to reflash TX and all RX:s with new firmware. - when setting up RX config, it is recommended to reinitialize to defaults first - RSSI behaviour is changed, verify your limits RSSI is now (RSSI/4 + 75%) * (linkquality)
Supported hardware
Current features
What I have currently planned is
I am open for any ideas regarding functionality, also contributions are welcome. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...=DSWGKGKPRX5CS Usefull/informative posts: Nice flashing instruction: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=467 Info on adding a filtter on RSSI output to make it usable for OSD:s not having internal filtter. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=439 |

This has been already done:
HW is similar to OLRS but FW is fully rewritten without orginal code, many features - advanced telemetry with eldisp LCD display - lost model buzzer - antenna tracker - configuration firmware However it's not yet fully released to public, poor documentation, ask cyberdrones.com why ... http://cyberdrones.com/shop/product....t=17&id_lang=1 |

Hey kha, have you confirmed that the RSSI you code puts out matches with the RSSI you get when you run the spectrum analyzer code (Should be around 200 when Rx and Tx are <2 meter)? Because I hade the problem that my RSSI didn't match in any way with what the RSSI should be. It turned out that when you read the RSSI just after receiving a package there is no data being transmitted and thus the RSSI doesn't match the real RSSI. I 'fixed' it by just constantly reading the RSSI outside the if received and taking an average because you are almost always receiving data. This isn't a really neat solution, do you have any suggestions? I'm not sure if your code has the problem too (I do suspect so) but it might be interresting to update that as well in your code.

@shafter yes I was told about the eleres firmware and even haf a look at it. Pretty nifty. Nothing of that is actually hard to do.
@rownald no I haven't checked rssi and believe you are right. As my code knows the timing I can read the RSSI while the packet is coming so should be able to make it fairly good. One of the real first things to do is the binding i.e. creation of semi random packet id and hop list and transferring parameter to rx via a special binding mode. One can still specify the id and hoplist by hand but there is no need to program the rx with same as pairing will transfer the id, hoplist and timing (datatate). |

Kha so are you gonna include antenna tracking in the code some-time in the future? And maybe also support for 1W transmitter module? I'm planing to diy that module, so if you plan on making some changes regarding hardware I'm in for it
Hope those modules at HK will restock soon, I wasn't at home while they sold out |

i have a section in my garden that has a shade most of the day but gets a couple of hours of sunlight. i want some plants that can do good in that kind of lighting |

Texas has a variety of hardiness zones so what may work well in one location may not in another. Try Googling "Texas, plants for shade" to give you a selection of listings that might be appropriate. Otherwise, search for shade plants under your specific hardiness zone. There are just many, many plants that could work. Other options are to post the same question on the Texas Gardening forum or visit your local library for texts on shade gardening. A couple I like are The Complete Shade Gardener by George Schenk, The Natural Shade Garden by Ken Druse and The Encyclopedia of Shade Perennials by W. George Schmidt. |
It is also good to distinguish if those hours of sun are in the morning (very good) or in the afternoon (harsh sun). That can make a difference in what you choose. |
I have a shady garden under tall oaks in north central Texas. I have good success with my Turk's Cap, ferns, butterfly ginger, Texas Gold Columbine, caladiums and brugmansias with just am sun. |

i have always wanted to grow ferns. are they easy to care for or are they more for master gardeners? |
The ones I have tried are very easy. I grow autumn fern, Dryopteris erythrosora and lady fern, Athyrium felix-femina that I picked up at Lowes. I do water them well in our dry summer because the trees will take the moisture that they need from the soil, but I have found those two to be very carefree. Pam |

I saw some ferns at walmart today and they come in a relatively small bowl. about a cup size. how big of a container do they need? |
What type of ferns? I would put them in the garden when it's past the last frost date for your area. Did you lift the plant from the container and see if it seems rootbound? If not, it might be fine to keep it in the container it's in for the next 4 to 6 weeks (depending on your hardiness zone). |

There are many companies around Edmonton who claim to pay the most. I have tested some of these companies and Becks paid significantly higher than any of them. Very happy with their service and professionalism. I believe they are the longest running gold buyer in town. Highly recommend!!
